How do I manage my itunes account and icloud account

I have one user name for itunes and a different user name for Icloud (which was merged from mobile me).
They are both acitve but not connected.
Think of Find My Phone - I can log in with Itunes account and find some devices - Log in with Icloud to find other devices but not all devices show up together.
How can I merge the two?

Just change the Store's country (bottom of the rightmost list at the bottom of the page).
However: you will have to clear any credit on the account first; and you can only use a credit card with an address registered in the country you are located in and the Store is set to.

You can't merge two iTunes accounts.

How do I remove my brother's iPhone 5 from my iTunes account and iCloud account?

My brother recently got a new iphone, and is a bit of a technophobe, so I set up his iPhone 5 in my itunes Account and my iCloud account.
Without going into loads of details, I want to set him up his own apple iTunes account, and iCloud account, without removing any of his data, contacts, photos, music, etc. Help, please!!!!!
Thanks

Are you using the the same icloud id. you can also look to the right on this forum you'll see More Like This - there might be a solution.

How can I change my iCloud email account? My apple ID was correctly changed but my @me account and @icloud account addresses need updated to reflect my married name.

My apple ID was correctly changed but my @me account and @icloud account addresses need updated to reflect my married name.

I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.

Is the apple account and icloud account the same

Is the Apple account and icloud account the same account.

They use the same Apple ID, if that's what you mean.

HT1918 Two seperate itunes accounts and icloud account-HELP!!

All, I've realised I have an icloud account under one email address & 2 itunes a/cs under two different email log ons ???!! How I managed to do this is beyond me but either way I want to know how to 'marry' these a/cs together, so everything is in 1 place? #cluelessanddesperate

One of you needs to set up a separate Apple ID for iMessaging purposes only.

Scam itunes email and icloud account

I stupidly clicked on a link in an email that took me to my itunes account and logged in. I realised almost immediately that it was a scam but it took ages to log out again then went to a very dodgy website. I immediately changed my password but I fear it was too late. Will the hackers have been able to access my icloud account and mailboxes?

'Immediately'within five minutes I think. What bothered me was the time it took to log out, I just wonder how much information they were gathering. I'm hoping that because my itunes id is different to my icloud mail account I will be ok. Thanks for your reponse.

How do I manage two apple ids and iCloud for my teen's iPad?

Before my son turned 13, he used my Apple ID to set up his purchases for his first iPad. Now he has his own apple ID. He has his own iPhone and a different iPad for school. The school wants him to use iCloud to back up everything.
I just set up iCloud but it wants to back up the items from my ID only. How do I get it to back up from his ID too?
How can I even figure out which items are linked to his Apple ID and which ones are linked to my Apple ID?
For next school year, I want everything to work with his ID, not mine. I wish I had just made him one in his name when he was 12!
I'm not so worried about the apps, photos, etc. I am more concerned about his documents from Pages, Keynote, iBooks... I think when he does his schoolwork it is saving to my Apple ID and not his.
I've avoided syncing to the computers because we have 3 users with different IDs and several different devices and after a while it gets really confusing to know what belongs to whom.
I know that a lot of people are frustrated that you can't merge Apple IDs -- seems like Apple ID is built for single people and not growing families who hand down older devices to other family members.

You can see which ID he is signed into for iCloud by going to Settings>iCloud on his device(s) and viewing the ID shown next to Account. This is the account that his documents are being store in, and the one his device is backing up to (if he is backing up to iCloud).
While it is possible to have more than one iCloud account on a device, there are limitations to the typed of data that additional ("secondary") accounts will sync. Only the primary account (the one listed in Settings>iCloud) can be used for photo stream, bookmarks, documents, iCloud backup and Find My iDevice. Because of this limitation, it isn't possible to sync (or "back up") documents from iWork to more than one iCloud account.

ITunes Match and iCloud accounts are different.

I bought my mom this iPad Air 2 for Christmas and I'm trying to get it so that she can have access to my iTunes Match account. I made the account on my AppleID so I can control the library for them. When I first set up her iPad, all her pictures and stuff were there. Then I changed the settings so that she could access the iTunes Match account, it still is using her AppleID for her iCloud but now it's my AppleID in the iTunes for the iTunes Match access and her pictures are no showing up anymore.
I'm SURE there has to be a way for iTunes Match to use my ID for that and still load all her pictures from her AppleID from her phone... right?
I should clarify, on my AppleID I don't have any apps, nor do I have an Apple product, I only signed up for an AppleID so that I could use it to get iTunes Match and control the playlists for them and everything. So she's logged in to her AppleID for iCloud and logged into my AppleID for the iTunes Match account. The pictures are all gone now though.

It stays on your phone until you delete it. If you download a song, album or artist, you can delete them by swiping across the title and tapping delete. If you play a song without downloading it, it is stored in cache memory on your phone. As you phone starts to reach full capacity, older and less frequently played songs begin to automatically be deleted from cache. Or, to remove them all, occasionally go to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipe across All Music and tap Delete.

How can I manage 2 iPhones with two iCloud accounts on one PC?

Once, we had an IPhone and a Windows Phone - calendars from both were sync'd via Outlook and life was simple. Having just migrated the Windows Phone to iPhone 5s it seems that iCloud will not allow more than one Apple ID and the Control Panel cannot switch between two different iCloud accounts.
Another post has suggested turning off iCloud options but I am concerned the apps and other purchased data will be deleted and the control panel 3.1 has limited options that do not appear to match the 3 year old post
Any simple solution available?

On a Mac you would simply create a separate user account for her, and she would sign into her account within her user account. Presumably this would work the same way on a PC.

Did OSX 10.9.1 wipe out their Gmail account and iCloud account?

Up graded yesterday and today my icloud account disappeared and also my Gmail account. The infomation on the file statated it would correct problems some had after upgrading to Maverick.

Hi Teknocore11
I'm experiencing exactly the same problems here in the UK & my ISP is SKY.
Everything was fine before I updated to 10.9.2. The only way I can send/receive email on my iMac is to change the port in the Advanced tab for iCloud (in mail preferences) to port 143 & deselect SSL.
This works for about 5mins & then I'm back to not being able to send/receive email.
Everything works OK on my iPhone 5S & my iPad when connected to my home WiFi (using SKY) which the iMac is also connected to - which would suggest the iMac & OSX 10.9.2 is the culprit.
I've tried all the other suggestions including switching iCloud on/off, deleting & then adding back my iCloud account, restarting (multiple times) but nothing works.
It's driving me mad!!

If i have a work ipad with a work email and a shared icloud for all employees, can i set up a second itunes and icloud account with a separate email address on the same ipad for my personal stuff?

i am a teacher and my school has given all of us a ipad to use. it is set up with my school email and a shared itunues and icloud account. they have told us we can use it for anything that can be used for education purposes. i have downloaded books and other items that i have marked up for my use. however if there is ever a problem i cant identify my applications or books if other teachers have downloaded the same apps or books as well as my documents. is there a way to set up a 2nd itunes account and icloud account so that i may use that when backing up anything that would be personalized by me so that i can find what is rightfully mine. they are ok with it but were unsure how to do this, so can anyone help me? thanks

Sorry, you cannot use more than one iTunes account at a time.

I have an iTunes account with a $25.00 credit but everytime I go to purchase a song, it goes to my credit card details. How do I use the iTunes credit and not the credit card?

Just to confirm, you are logged into the iTunes Store using the account in which the balance exists, and the balance is showing at the top of the iTunes Store window? And you're not trying to purchase gifts for someone else?

HT4436 we have 5 devices on one itunes account how do I give them each their own icloud account and still share the itunes account?

You need a unique AppleID for each iCloud account. So grab some free gmail, hotmail, aol, yahoo or whatever email addresses to make five new AppleIDs. Now, everybody make an iCloud account for themselves, and keep the existing shared AppleID and password just for use in the iTunes and App Stores. You can also each use your own unique AppleIDs to make iMessage accounts and keep those separate as well.

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.
